What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can design scalable data architectures, work across cloud and analytics teams, automate pipelines, and grow into senior technical leadership within a collaborative, security-focused organization.

I am a skilled Data Architect with 4+ years designing and implementing data solutions across cloud, database, and analytics environments. I have built data models, optimized databases, and led data migration and enrichment efforts to deliver actionable insights.

I have hands-on experience automating analysis and reporting with Python, developing cloud infrastructure with AWS, Terraform and Ansible, and managing Linux systems and CI/CD pipelines. I have also executed software testing protocols and maintained production systems with strong security and performance practices.

My background includes roles in data analysis, cloud engineering, Linux system administration, and software testing, supported by degrees in software and data engineering and coursework in machine learning and deep learning. I focus on delivering reliable, scalable data architectures that improve decision-making and operational efficiency.
